Anglo American appoints Parker as chairman

Anglo American on Friday appointed John Parker as chairman, ending months of speculation over the successor to departing chairman Mark Moody-Stuart, who is retiring.

The first challenge for Parker - who joins the Anglo board as a non-executive director with immediate effect and will assume his new role on August 1 - will be to defend the UK-listed miner against a merger proposal from Xstrata.
